I have always given great importance to
magazines and books on miniature; although many publications
they are not more recent however they remain interesting as they
are a mine of
useful information for collecting.
On this page I have listed all the publications that have been
useful to me over the years
to learn more about the world of miniature collecting, learn more
and improve
my passion.
In this space I cannot help but mention the bimonthly magazines
of the Club I have been to
partner for ten years (from 1995 to 2005); I own the complete
vintages from 1990 to 2005 as well as
some numbers from the 80s and most of my experience I owe to the
countless
articles appeared in magazines, which allowed me to know
better the mignon, especially the "seals" of which at
the beginning I did not even imagine the existence.
The bimonthly magazine was of great
importance on the Italian and foreign scene
"Minibottles Magazine" fruit of the
great passion of the collector and friend Giuseppe Savoca;
his work has certainly kept collecting alive and helped favor the
relationships between collectors.
The magazine was published in 30 issues from 2009 to 2013.
The adventure continues with "Il
Collezionista di Liquori", to stay updated on the
world of collecting
with the current "Club Delle Mignonnettes"
of which I provide the link:
To get an idea of what may be the miniature
collecting in the world can be, here are the
magazines of the US "The Miniature Bottle Collector"
Club which are available for download
the numbers in PDF from here:
In addition to the New Zealand Club
magazines, always in PDF format (the most recent are in color):
I am making available the magazines "Il Collezionista di Mignon" in my possession by uploading them on the site:
(a site where you can publish magazines,
books, etc. and consult them).
Just type in the search engine "il collezionista di mignon".
Still on the same site by typing "minibottles magazine"
you can view the magazines
by the collector Giuseppe Savoca.
In addition to this, if you type "revista virtual CCML",
the magazines of the Chilean Club CCML are available.
Using the site calameo.download you can download the magazine on your PC.
Some books specifically deals mignon,
others are more general but equally useful
for the purpose of collecting.
I also added the books that I do not have, this to have a broader
view on
various existing publications.
